It was supposed to be the Season of Strong Women, with back-to-back revivals of “Funny Girl,” “Annie” and “Evita.”

Alas, “Funny Girl” derailed en route to Broadway, and we won’t get “Annie” til the fall. What we’ve got this spring is a bumper crop of driven men singing.

Nearly every musical around focuses on a charismatic guy: young Jack Kelly rallying the ink-stained wretches of “Newsies”; a silver-tongue “pastor” who bilks his sheep (“Leap of Faith”); a dead man keeping his lover from harm (“Ghost: The Musical”); a revolutionary who wants to save Argentina from the Perons (“Evita”) . . . and the second coming of “Jesus Christ Superstar.”

They’re all men on a mission, armed with a song — and a nice set of arms, pecs and legs. Let’s take a long, hard look.

Biggest obstacle: Evita Peron, who’s also helping the poor – after her fashion

Manliest look: long-sleeve white tee

Offstage: lives with Carlos Abella and their twin sons

RICHARD FLEESHMAN

Sam Wheat, “Ghost: The Musical”

(Opens April 23, Lunt-Fontanne)

Mission: to keep his girl from harm — and to finally tell her “I love you”

Biggest obstacle: He’s dead!

Rallying cry: “Ditto”

Manliest look: naked from the waist up

Onstage love: his girl, Molly

Offstage: single

JEREMY JORDAN

Jack Kelly, “Newsies”

(Opens tomorrow, Nederlander)

Mission: “It’s a David and Goliath story,” says director Jeff Calhoun, “and he’s in charge of the Davids”— the newsboys fighting off media barons William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer’s efforts to raise prices at the newsboys’ expense.

Biggest obstacle: Summoning the strength not to run away. Hey, he’s 17!

Rallying cry: “All for one and one for all!”

Manliest look: a period undershirt called a Henley

Onstage love: Joseph Pulitzer’s daughter, Katherine

Offstage: engaged (to Ashley Spencer, one of the divas of “Priscilla Queen of the Desert”)
